Hi

– Can an Intous stylus/tablet be set up to scroll a window by clicking and dragging the window area itself?

Background:
I use the Intuous Graphics Tablet: WACOM – INTUOS (6.5 inches?) Model:GD-0405-R / *GD-0405-R* under Windows2000.
WACOM TABLET SYSTEM, DRIVER VERSION 4.76

– Does anyone know if there is any way to set it up
so that you can scroll a window by dragging
the stylus across a window area?

(To create a similar effect to a wheelmouse’s wheel!!)

By the way, if find this little tablet truely excellent for avoiding RSI in general. (Including using general purpose, non-graphical software). I use the "mapping" feature quite a lot though for best results. I have a wheelmouse too which I also use.

BTW, I am using the basic pen that came with the Intuous. all it has is two ends and a button on the site.
Though I believe the button itself has two ends…

Hit H for Hand and then reposistion to your hearts content. When finished, learn the shortcut for returning to where you were, like B for Brush.

If you hit the spacebar you’ll notice that the cursor turns into a hand. You can move in any direction with the mouse or pen. Release the spacebar and the last tool you were using returns.

hope this helps

That’s brilliant! – precisely what I was looking for.
EXCEPT that it only works in Photoshop…!! 🙁

I am a web designer and spend most of my time
in other (Windows2000) appliations.

Is there any way to configure the stylus buttons
so that we can scroll a ms Windows window?!
(Atleast vertically would do…)

I am afraid that you just like the mouse have to grab the scroll bars and move them using the pen.

Of course you could use the wheel on the mouse that comes with the Wacom.
